VoIP → Voice over IP

Open discussions about VOIP protocols (e.g. SIP), providers, and related security matters.

There are two other VOIP communities on big centralized instances (thus kept unnamed), and ATM they are rightfully dead communities anyway. This infosec.pub community is apparently the only free-world decentralized threadiverse venue for VOIP chatter -- but if another emerges let the moderator know so it can be linked in this sidebar.

Did protonVPN recently start blocking VOIP? (self.voip)

I have had no problem using VOIP over #protonVPN until recently. Connections happen but there is no audio. Anyone notice this?

I wondered if maybe they decided to make VOIP a non-free feature, but their premium plans do not list VOIP as an extra feature.

I don’t understand how split tunneling would be something done on the server side of things. Maybe I’m misunderstanding but shouldn’t the routing be controlled on the user side? I could probably create a virtual network device called something like vn01 which tunnels via protonVPN and have select apps use that and other apps using tor or clearnet without protonVPN having any knowledge or control.

It should, I just think they got a little restriction-happy here. What's the point of even offering a free VPN (as opposed go a free trial) if 99% of the features are unavailable?

Like I said, I'd have much less of an issue if we could customize our plan, as I'd gladly get a sub, but I had to choose Proton Pass Plus since I don't have $8/mo to spare for Unlimited. I do use all of Proton's services so it'd be worth it but I genuinely don't have the $8/mo to spare right now.
